Dear EHS Members,
February will be a busy month. I am attending a meeting in Monaco next week and will present on periprosthetic infection and on how we should look at the health economics of our interventions; I will then be in Dublin for their Royal College of surgeons meeting on 13th Feb, in Madrid for the SECCA meeting (Spanish Society of Hip Surgery with EHS) hosted by Prof Eduardo Garcia-Rey and will finish the month at the SRS meeting in Japan.
EHS is honored to be the Guest Society at the British Hip Society’s annual congress in London in March and I look forward to seeing many members there. BHS President and EHS member, Prof Matt Wilson, addresses us below in readiness for the event.
As you know, Olympia is booked for our 17th EHS Congress London 2027, so the BHS meeting there will be a great chance to experience the venue, the atmosphere and to enjoy London in the Spring.
Thanks to Prof Bondarenko, Dr Meller and all our speakers who took part in the PJI International Meeting last month supported by EHS and in collaboration with the German Hip Society, presented by the Sytenko Institute for Spine and Joint Pathology, Ukraine and Charite Hospital, Germany. Even a blackout over Kharkiv during the meeting didn’t stop the show – evidence of our strong desire to improve hip knowledge across Europe and what a crucial role EHS has to play in spreading that far and wide.
The call for abstracts for the Stockholm combined meeting with The Hip Society in September is out. This is open to established consultants and we look forward to seeing your submissions. (Click here.)
Imminent courses with EHS support are the Bern Hip Symposium, SECCA as mentioned and, in April, the Barcelona Hip Meeting. Reports will follow. Meanwhile, please help to find contributors for a new survey for pelvic surgeons involved with high-energy pelvic fracture in young women. (See below.) And don’t forget to promote our free webinar replay of the BHS / EHS Webinar series to your colleagues.
Finally, we are very happy to welcome new faces to EHS: Young Members Mr Ian W Kennedy and Mr Matthew Kennedy, UK, Dr Joao Nobrega, Portugal and Dr Michael Axenhus, Sweden; and Full Members Dr Remzi Caylak, Turkiye, Mr Kartik Logishetty, UK and Prof Michael Morlock, Germany. Plus our new EHS EduCom member Mr Sujith Konan introduces himself HERE.
With Best Wishes,
Prof Fares Haddad
EHS President 2025-2027

Dear Members of the European Hip Society,
On behalf of the British Hip Society (BHS), I am delighted to extend warm greetings to our colleagues and friends across Europe. The coming year presents an exciting opportunity to further strengthen the long-standing relationship between our two societies, united by a shared commitment to advancing hip surgery, education, research, and patient care across Europe and beyond.
The British Hip Society was established, in 1989, to promote excellence in the management of hip disorders through education, research, innovation and professional collaboration. Our membership includes orthopaedic surgeons, trainees, allied health professionals and researchers with a common interest in hip preservation, arthroplasty, trauma and revision surgery. Through scientific meetings, educational initiatives, guideline development, collaborative research and funded fellowships, the BHS aims to support best practice and foster continual improvement in outcomes for patients with hip pathology.
We are honoured that the European Hip Society will be our Guest Society at the BHS Annual Scientific Meeting in London this March (www.bhsmeeting.com) and we greatly look forward to welcoming EHS representatives to contribute to the programme, share European perspectives and engage with our members in discussion and collaboration. We hope this will be a highlight of the year and a catalyst for further joint initiatives.
The British Hip Society warmly invites members of the European Hip Society to join us as International Members and in the same spirit, we actively encourage our own members to engage with and join the European Hip Society, recognising the immense value of European-wide collaboration in education, research and advocacy.
We look forward with enthusiasm to the year ahead and to working closely with the European Hip Society to advance our shared mission. Together, we can continue to build a strong, collaborative community dedicated to improving hip care for patients across Europe.
With kind regards,
Matt Wilson
President – British Hip Society
